SNOOKDLB Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Where can I find a front casting platform for my 2015 hpx-v?, I’m looking for the long one that will hold the stripping bucket and mounts to the cleat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE OUTLAW Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure where you are located but I make the Protrim style platform , all the time . Everyone is custom made. Height , width , Sea Dek color . Permanant or buckle style . I also make poling platforms and fold down backrests . Shoot me a PM , if you are interested . Thank you Ralph @ AIM WELDING PS ...I also do T-Tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Go custom, and aluminum. Get exactly what you want, you'll be happier in the long run. I had this built to be able to put a basket up there as well, it's huge, tall (22"), and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conocean Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Go custom and you'll be happiest. The Outlaw certainly knows how to weld! What's up with all them mud tracks on your boat, Jason? Almost looks like a dog or coon gotcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 That's not dirt. It's fish slime. As a direct result, I ordered that exact casting platform. I haven't seen that much slime on my boat EVER. Clearly, I had the wrong platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 That's what happens when you push a hull that drafts 8" through 6" of water and mud in the Jacksonville marsh... and a little redfish slime of course. I actually hopped off the boat that morning to catch a heron and cut a bunch of mono off his legs, and wings.

THE OUTLAW Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hello All of my casting platforms and poling platforms are custom made one off's , so I use 1/2" starboard and Sea-Dek on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I saw Starboard at the Florida City Home Depot in the lumber section. Didn't price but I'd imagine it's less than a marine store, unless you live by boat outfitters or someplace like that, it might be the way to go. Unless you could send our friend here a template Is this a possibility outlaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
